The evaluation of forklift quality needs to be carried out from six core dimensions: performance parameters, safety, ergonomics, maintenance convenience, cost-effectiveness, and brand service. The following is a specific analysis:

1、 Performance parameters: dual guarantee of efficiency and adaptability

Power performance: Internal combustion forklifts need to consider the engine brand and model (imported brands are usually more reliable), power output stability, and failure rate; Electric forklifts need to pay attention to battery capacity, charging speed, and endurance. For example, off-road forklifts need to have strong power to cope with complex terrain.

Operational performance: including maximum driving speed, minimum turning radius, climbing ability, etc. A small turning radius and strong climbing ability can enhance the operational flexibility of forklifts in narrow spaces or slopes.

Loading and unloading performance: Parameters such as rated lifting capacity, load center distance, maximum lifting height, and gantry inclination directly affect loading and unloading efficiency. For example, the larger the distance between the load centers, the wider the range of goods that the forklift can stably carry.

Portability: The minimum ground clearance, four-wheel drive function, and tire type (such as off-road tires) determine the forklift's ability to pass through complex road conditions such as mud and slopes.

2、 Safety: Comprehensive protection for drivers and cargo

Braking system: It must comply with national standards (such as braking distance ≤ 8m when unloaded at 20km/h, ≤ 4m when fully loaded at 10km/h), and check the brake clearance and whether the pipeline is blocked or leaking.

Handbrake design: The end of the handbrake should be equipped with a locking button to prevent accidental release and safety accidents.

Shelf safety: The opening size of the shelf should be ≤ 150mm to prevent goods from slipping off.

Visual design: The cab should provide good visibility, reduce blind spots, and ensure operational accuracy.

3、 Human Machine Engineering: Reducing Fatigue and Improving Efficiency

Cabin design: A cabin with low noise, good vibration reduction, and strong insulation can reduce driver fatigue. For example, seat comfort and reasonable layout of operation buttons both affect the operating experience.

Convenience of operation: Reduce the number of operation actions (such as one click operation) and lower labor intensity through human-machine engineering design.

Visual field optimization: Good visual field design not only improves efficiency, but also ensures driver safety, especially in narrow spaces or high-speed operations.

4、 Maintenance convenience: rapid diagnosis, reduced downtime

Modular design: High quality forklift control systems are usually modular and can be directly connected to laptops for fault diagnosis and parameter modification (such as adjusting driving speed).

Convenience of component replacement: All components should be easy to replace, with fast fault diagnosis and elimination speed, reducing downtime.

Maintenance cost: Investigate maintenance intervals, accessory prices, and failure rates. Low failure rate forklifts can significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs.

5、 Cost effectiveness: full lifecycle cost analysis

Procurement cost: It needs to be evenly distributed throughout the life cycle of the forklift to avoid pursuing low prices and neglecting quality.

Energy consumption cost: The energy consumption cost of electric forklifts is usually lower than that of internal combustion forklifts, but battery replacement costs need to be considered.

Labor cost: High efficiency forklifts can reduce the number of drivers and lower labor costs.

Residual value rate: The residual value rate of well-known brand forklifts is usually higher, reducing the total lifecycle cost.

6、 Brand and service: dual guarantee of quality and after-sales service

Brand awareness: Choosing a well-known brand forklift can ensure product quality and reliable after-sales service.

After sales service system: Evaluate the manufacturer's technical support, maintenance services, and parts supply capabilities. For example, whether 24-hour emergency repair services are provided.

User reputation: Understand the actual usage effect of forklifts through industry evaluations and user feedback.
